In this meaningful episode, the show’s Executive Producer and esteemed civil rights attorney, Frederick K. Brewington, joins Dr. Darlene for a powerful and deeply personal discussion on the state of politics today, what true positive leadership and advocacy looks like, and why open dialogue, understanding where we came from and what people fought for, remains essential to progress.
